Which type of template should be used when a network engineer adds a new call center agent in the Cisco Unity Connection?

A Contact template is used for creating external contacts (non-subscriber entries), not for provisioning licensed call center agent accounts.

A Call handler template defines default settings for call handlers (automated attendants or routing constructs), not for individual user accounts.

A User template in Cisco Unity Connection provides the default configuration settings - such as class of service, partition, and phone system - that are applied when a new user (including call center agents) is created. Call center agents are provisioned as users in CUC, so the User template is the correct template type to use. Without a User template, the system cannot apply standardized default settings during user creation.

A Notification template defines default message notification device settings, not the account type used when creating a new user.
